2. if the door creaked open to show a garden full of glowing flowers,?
3. if a tiny bird with silver feathers flew down and handed us a key,?
4. if the key unlocked a wooden chest filled with handwritten letters,?
5. if the letters told a story of two friends who promised to meet here years ago,?
6. if we heard footsteps behind us and turned to see two elderly people smiling,?
7. if they said they’d finally kept their promise, we’d know the garden’s magic was real.?
Reflecting
